Halsey Claps Back at Haters Who Say She's Not Bi Because She Dates Men
"PSA to remind you that bisexual people, we exist!”
Pop singer-songwriter Halsey defended herself yesterday after haters began questioning her bisexuality.
What began as an innocent National Coming Out Day post quickly turned into a commentator battleground.
"Happy #NationalComingOutDay ! ya girl is #OutAndProud," wrote Halsey, who publically came out as bisexual in 2015.
The negative comments sprouted up like wildfire.
“Out as what?? You’re dating a man,” said one commenter. “But isn’t she with g eazy,” added another. A particularly mean-spirited user said, “Pride for what shes a straight girl who hook up with the occasion fm when she's high.”
Halsey took to her Instagram story to deliver an important bisexual PSA.
“So I posted on my Instagram for National Coming Out Day that I’m out and proud, and everyone’s commenting like, ‘But aren’t you dating G-Eazy?' So I wanted to take a moment to make a PSA to remind you that bisexual people, we exist!”
This isn't the first time the 24-year-old has had to defend her bisexuality. Halsey, who has used she/her pronouns in several of her songs, previously went viral with a joke about her sexuality.
"So if I’m dating a guy I’m straight, and if I date a woman, I’m a lesbian. The only way to be a #True bisexual is to date 2 people at once."
\u201cSo if I\u2019m dating a guy I\u2019m straight, and if I date a woman, I\u2019m a lesbian. The only way to be a #True bisexual is to date 2 people at once.\u201d— h (@h) 1513629363
